Why do QPRFC Women keep playing teams where I spent my childhood holidays :)

Butlins Saltdean 1958 :) .....Now an upmarket hotel on the site last I heard.

Steve if it had been an away fixture you could have tried a bit of Beach Sea Fishing before the game....
or not! :D

I have to say Bernard, for purely selfish reasons I would have preferred
an away tie :lol:

Does it have a pier?

Just found this on Wiki....
'During the Second World War the building was taken over by the fire service and used as a fire service college.
It was then bought by Billy Butlin in 1953 and became a Butlin's Holiday camp.

In 2005 a theatrical production, Dirty Wonderland, was staged in the former hotel.

Shortly thereafter the main hotel building was redeveloped into luxury apartments.

Thanks for that updated info Steve. Interesting Stuff.

There goes another part of my childhood ;)

No Pier I am sure. Brighton nearest one.
